nsIStreamListenerTee

As data “flows” into a stream listener tee, it is copied to the output stream
and then forwarded to the real listener.

Methods

init(listener, sink, requestObserver)

Initalize the tee.

Parameters

listener the original listener the tee will propagate onStartRequest, onDataAvailable and onStopRequest notifications to, exceptions from the listener will be propagated back to the channel
sink the stream the data coming from the channel will be written to, should be blocking
requestObserver optional parameter, listener that gets only onStartRequest and onStopRequest notifications; exceptions threw within this optional observer are also propagated to the channel, but exceptions from the original listener (listener parameter) are privileged

initAsync(listener, eventTarget, sink, requestObserver)

Initalize the tee like above, but with the extra parameter to make it
possible to copy the output asynchronously

Parameters

anEventTarget if set, this event-target is used to copy data to the output stream, giving an asynchronous tee
